Ok, if your bored and want to read about my first Vegas trip here goes, and if you actually make it to the end and want to post about ur first trip then cool.Ok so I'm all excited about going to Vegas August 2 - 9th. Then I read that horrible blog about Daniel in Canada during the same time. So great there goes any hopes of running into him. But I'm still going to Vegas.First thing I do is visit all the hotels and casinos, blah blah blah, taking pictures and video I'm such a tourist. The Wynn is beautiful. Probably the prettiest hotel on the strip.I spent most of my time playing limit holdem. Stoopid mistake, should have played no limit, but oh well. Entered a tournament at Harrah's. My third live tournament ever, and i finished in 3rd. Ending hand I was short stacked w/pocket 3's, Big stack called me w/ A9 and he hit his aces. Still i was excited!!! Here is a pic of me at the final table<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/vvganeshavv/FinalTable.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">Sorry the quality sux.....Anyways spent the next couple of days playing no limit and won about 200 a day. Played the 1 - 3 no limit at the Wynn!!!We went to a club called Beauty Bar. Its in downtown Vegas. If you like Indie music this place rocks. You can actually get a manicure and pedicure while ur there. The seats are blow dryers. The only thing that sux is the sound system is pretty crappy, but the DJ's played really good music!!That's it... Basically a week of gambling, drunkenness, and debauchery!! flame away....

Beautiful picture. The dramatic lighting does wonders to heighten the tension in the shot.

No max at the Wynn.

[Huskers20]

I know.....I was there...I was trying to catch OP:)......as there wasn't a 1/3 nl game at Wynn.The no max buy in was crazy when I was there 1/2 nl and i saw 2 pots of over 1500 in the hour and a half i was at the table. I was happy to get out of ther up $100 before I went to dinner.Huskers20

I was there for two weeks in June and it was 1/2NL - I think they have bumped it up to 1/3 in the last month - I'm heading out for another week next Wed. I'll check it out.

[Huskers20]

ok....he was probably right then...check it out though and let us know.Huskers20

[vvganeshavv]

Its a min of 100, not sure if there is a max. I got in with 260 and left w/about 400 or so. It did get crazy at times. I saw a 500 pot!!!

Since I just turned 21, it was my first time playing at Vegas too. I could have swore I saw you playing a tournament at Harrahs. I was playing NL 1/3 and I saw some guy that kept asking you (or some other girl that looking like you) and this other guy to drink w/him. You were at the final table right ?and it was on Sunday, August 7th. I wanted to enter that tourney, but I got there too late. Anyways, congrats on placing 3rd!My trip was fun overall. I could have lost a lot more than I should have. I hit a set a total of 5 times during the whole weekend and each time I was up against someone that either flopped a boat or a straight, or draws me out on a flush which is a total drag.

When I first read this I thought, mother of 4 going to Vegas. After a reread, I figured it was a girl who liked gang bangs. Now I realize it is a guy and his friends. Boy am I confused. I don't have normal thoughts anymore.
